Chapter 177 - Unexpected Situation

Brando and Ayame had changed into a suit and dress before they went to the restaurant to have dinner.

"1kg t-bone steak, rare," Brando said.

"...." Ayame looked at Brando and said, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"No, I'm still on my growing period," Brando said.

Ayame shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then, I'll have foie gras and your best red wine." She didn't need to pay on this trip and decided to let it out.

"I'll also have this special milkshake," Brando said.

The waiter nodded and bowed. "I'll prepare your order right away."

Ayame and Brando looked on the stage in the middle of the restaurant while hearing old music that was played by the singer on the stage. They really enjoyed this trip until they heard someone having an argument with each other.

"No, I don't want to!"

"Listen to me! I have listened to your selfishness and now you should listen to me!"

"But I don't want to! I don't want to be engaged with someone that I don't know!"

Brando thought from the voice it was an argument of both mother and daughter. He could tell from the argument that the daughter didn't want to follow her mother's arrangement.

"That's why I'm going to introduce you to him in I-Island."

"No!"

"Why? I have agreed that you have transferred from Italy to Japan. Then why not listen to me once!"

"B - Because....."

Ayame looked at the interaction of mother and daughter with an interest.

"It's a bad habit to hear someone's argument," Brando told Ayame.

"Why not? It seems very interesting." Ayame looked at Brando and said, "But the mother is sure very selfish to engage her daughter to a stranger."

"That's not our problem, right?" Brando said.

Ayame wanted to say something, but suddenly she saw that the daughter seemed to be walking toward her table. "H - Hey..." It was too late since there was a shocking scene in front of her.

"Because I have a boyfriend!"

"Ha? Boyfriend? How is your boyfriend? You have been at the all-girls school all the time. How could you get a boyfriend? Don't lie to me!"

Brando suddenly felt that his hand was being pulled and he saw a familiar girl who suddenly shouted something outrageous.

"This is my boyfriend!"

"..."

Brando had a headache looking at this girl who made him into her boyfriend.

Who is this girl? How is such a thing happening? Let's go back 15 minutes earlier.

Mari Ohara had been annoyed by a lot of things such as her family and her friend that had been stolen by this bad guy. She knew that the guy was bad, but she couldn't do anything to stop her friend.

Then a summer holiday came, she thought that she could use this holiday to persuade her friend, but she didn't expect her family to ask her to come to the I-Island. She didn't mind coming with her family since she thought that it was the usual gathering event or something since her family was also one of the sponsorsh.i.p.s on the I-Island.

However, she didn't expect her mother to suddenly tell her that she would be engaged to someone and they would meet each other on the I-Island. She got into a huge argument immediately with her mother since she didn't want to be engaged with someone that she didn't know.

They were on the cruise and her father didn't come since he decided to come directly to I-Island using an airplane. They went to dinner and kept having an argument about it.

Mari had a headache and thought about how to solve this problem. When she was at the restaurant she saw someone familiar. Even though she hated him since he had stolen her childhood friend, she thought that she could use him to evade this engagement problem since she thought that it was the only way for her to escape.

"Because I have a boyfriend!" Mari said.

"Ha? Boyfriend? How is your boyfriend? You have been at the all-girls school all the time. How could you get a boyfriend? Don't lie to me!" Mari's mother said.

Mari didn't say anything and walked toward this person then grabbed his arm before saying, "This is my boyfriend!"

"....."

Back to the present time.

Ayame saw Mari and thought that she had seen this girl before and smiled when she thought she could see something interesting.

"...."

Brando had a headache and stood up before whispering, "What are you doing?"

"Shh... Just follow my arrangement!" Mari whispered.

Brando raised his eyebrow and whispered, "Tell me everything later."

"Good." Mari nodded.

Mari's mother looked at Brando for a while then looked at her daughter. She looked at Ayame and said, "So your boyfriend is having dinner with another woman?"

"No, she is his cousin," Mari said since she had seen Ayame in the past during the Sports Festival.

Mari's mother looked at Brando again and asked, "Are you really my daughter's boyfriend?"

"...." Brando didn't answer her immediately and looked at Mari. He wasn't sure, but this question made him feel that he was in a situation where a gun was aimed right into his skull.

Mari became nervous when Brando didn't answer her mother. She whispered to him with a quiet voice, "Yes! Answer her that you're my boyfriend!"

"Are you sure?" Brando asked doubtfully. He knew that this girl was a bit hostile toward him and it felt strange for her to suddenly ask him to become her boyfriend.

"Yes!" Mari nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, I'm your daughter's boyfriend," Brando said toward Mari's mother.

"Then why are you not answering me immediately?" Mari's mother asked with a doubtful expression.

"Well, who would think that I would meet you suddenly, aunt? I'm quite nervous," Brando said skillfully.

Mari's mother nodded and thought that it was normal for someone to suddenly become nervous to meet the parent of their partner. "Now, that you mentioned it, I haven't heard your name yet."

"Brando, Dio Brando. That's my name," Brando said.

"Dio Brando...."
